Churchyard Lyrics

[Intro]
He told me I belong in a churchyard
He told me I could walk away but I wouldn't get far
Tell me, how do people know what is hurt, what is love?
He told me I belong in a churchyard

[Verse 1]
Words pointy like arrows, wounds no one can see
He closed all the windows as his anger broke free
I will not remember you as somebody nice
Please, will you remember me and cry?

[Pre-Chorus]
Ta-la-la-ta-la-la-la-hmm-ta-la-la-ta-la-la
Hmm-ta-la-la-ta-la-la-la-ta-la-la-la-hmm-ta
Ta-la-la-ta-la-la-ta-la-la-ta-la-la-hmm-ta-la-la-ta-la-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
He told me I belong in a churchyard
He told me I could walk away but I wouldn't get far
Tell me, how do people know what is hurt, what is love?
He told me I belong in a churchyard

[Verse 2]
Hate followed him gently, black seeds in his heart
Roots tearing the love in him apart

About

This song bio is unreviewed

“Churchyard” is the sixth track on Aurora’s second album, Infections of a Different Kind (Step I).

The song is about someone “powerful” who uses their power in the wrong way, like in politics, with children or women. It talks about someone harling words of abuse or harassment at people and then, like karma, finally hitting back and haunting that person.

What did AURORA say about "Churchyard"?

“Churchyard” is just like the concept of someone bigger using their power in the wrong way, that happens all the time in politics, with children, women. I wanted the songs to feel empowering – like at the end of “Churchyard”, she comes back to haunt him.
